65See 2 Cor 2:3–9 about this missing letter and his brief, unsuccessful visit to Corinth. In 2 Cor 13:1, he says that he plans to come to the Corinthians for the third time. The first visit took place in 50 AD, when he founded the church there; the second, a brief one, was unplanned; and the third, the one he writes about, dates back to the winter of 57–58.
